Savage, effects-drenched guitar and manically brutal drumming form the basis of Squid Pisser’s remorseless aural assault.
Each song features a guest vocalist from bands as diverse as Punch, Nekrogoblikon, and Melt Banana. And the crux of this LP’s success lies in the fact that none of these vocalists feels artificially bolted on – each song is singularly crafted to the vocal strengths of the guest, while remaining undeniably a visceral Squid Pisser construct. As a result, while every song displays its own defining characteristics, the album as a whole retains a powerfully unified sonic consistency.
Justin Pearson (Swing Kids, Deaf Club) co-hosts an excellent podcast ‘Cult and Culture’ with Luke Henshaw (Planet B) and Episode 18 includes a great discussion with Squid Pisser’s guitarist, Brian Meehan.
Squid Pisser eviscerates the ego and and all things serene with their own vibrant form of vicious and mucky hardcore. Slamming down dolphin corpses at breakneck speeds, the duo, which is comprised of Tommy Meehan on guitar (Deaf Club, Cancer Christ, Sweatband Records, Cartoon Network) and Seth Carolina (Starcrawler), have constructed a fresh and mucousy new alien craft powered by tightly controlled noise-guitar, savage primal drum work, and gooped up vocal deliveries that might sound like a gaggle of frogs thrown into a garbage disposal (although the Squid boys wouldn’t recommend doing this).
Conceptualized and formed in 2022, the band decided to fully utilize planet Earth’s viral slumber in order to gestate, write, and record 2 full length albums worth of material. Throughout the year, Squid Pisser played a handful of shows in California and Nevada as a two-piece as they continued the quest for further personnel and collaborators. Tommy Meehan’s tightly controlled noise-onslaught of rainbow vomit (spat out of a guitar amp via manic pedalboard wizardry and sophisticated finger work) paired with the utterly brutal and savage drumming of Seth Carolina, merge to create a collection of tracks that have been forged in a totally fucked and sonically chaotic storm of pus and goo.
Their debut release, My Tadpole Legion, is a mutated smorgasbord of songs and guest vocalists from projects like: Melt Banana, Nekrogoblikon, Cancer Christ, Punch, The Locust, Wacko and more. Also featured prominently is John Clardy of Tera Melos on drums for three of the songs. The album was picked up by Justin Pearson’s Three One G label and is being released in conjunction with Tommy’s own Sweatband Records (one of several collaborative releases the two have put out together over the last few years.)
